A lot contains $$50$$ defective and $$50$$ non defective bulbs. Two bulbs are drawn at random, one at a time, with replacement. The events $$A, B, C$$ are defined as
$$A=$$ (the first bulbs is defective)
$$B=$$ (the second bulbs is non-defective)
$$C=$$ (the two bulbs are both defective or both non defective)
Determine whether
